There are many reasons as to why WWl was started. Before WWl there was a period called the age of Imperialism where a country would go and conquer another smaller, less powerful country to use its raw materials and their markets to sell to. During this time Otto Von Bismarck was the chancellor of Germany. He had the good idea of staying out of imperialism becasue he knew it would only have horrible consequences. when Kaiser Wilhelm came along he booted Bismarck out of office. Wilhelm tried pursuing world dominance known as weltpolitik and built a big navy which rivaled Britatins and fromed tension. also with the allaince systems during this period if one country went to war then so do the others. the baltics at this time were known as the powder keg becasue of all the different nationalities in the countries. this led to intense nationalism. when the archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria drove through sarajevo he was attacked and killed by a young extreme nationalist. so austria- Hungary at the time went to war with Serbia and they had an alliance with Germany so they all went to war and started WWl
